10 Secrets That All Men Keep

Author: Michael Douglas

There comes a time in every man's life when he discovers the value of hiding the grosser parts of his nature. He starts reciting the sweet nothings you long to hear: "No, honey, I play golf for the exercise." Or "No, dear, I think you're a great driver."



And as he says these things, he's not exactly lying, for he often strongly believes that he's just making things easier. Little does he realise that these white lies, though pretty innocent, can turn confusing for women, who then tend to think, "Well, if he's lying about himself, is he also lying about something else? Is he having an affair?..." Therefore, to establish trust, men ought to tell truth about the inocuous stuff too.



But, the point is that they don't. They still keep those li'l secrets from their women. Here are some things that men will never admit to keeping to themselves.



1. We fall in lust, but it doesn't mean we want to leave you



"Were you looking at her?" The answer to that is always a 'No'. If you think your man doesn't look at another woman, get his vision tested. When a pretty woman passes by, men may first fight the urge to look, but in the end, they just have to.



2. We actually do play golf to get away from you



The point is this: 'Going golfing' is not really about golf. It's about the wife, the house, the kids and the absence thereof.



3. We're unnerved by the notion of commitment, even after we've made one to you



Your man does love you. He really thinks you're fantastic. But, by nature, men grow up obsessed with the fact of, 'How many women who resembled Britney Spears we could date before we turned 30. Generally, it takes them a few years to perish that thought.



4. Earning money makes us feel important



In many households, the wife earns more than the husband. This, of course, is a terrific development for women in the workplace and warmly embraced by all men, right? Yeah, well, that's what he will tell you. He'll also never admit to thinking that it irks him if his woman's bringing home more moolah than he is.



5. Though we often protest, we actually enjoy fixing things around the house



For men, it's rewarding to tinker with and fix something that they think, without them, would remain broken forever. Plus they get to use the tools. The reason they won't admit this is because they feel that most women can't differentiate between taking out the trash and fixing that broken hinge; to them, both are tasks men need to get done over the weekend.



6. We like it when you mother us, but we're terrified that you'll become your mother



Men sure look like adults when they turn 25, but at heart, they still feel like that 4-year-old clutching his father's pant leg. So they want a lot of mothering. But they're terrified to admit it, because it would probably come out sounding like they don't love you now.



7. We don't really understand what you're talking about



Women can, with relative ease, think up deep, complex 'issues' in the relationship even while ironing clothes? And they wait for their man to come home to discuss them. So, does your man sit there nodding and agreeing? No, he doesn't understand, he probably just has a faint idea what you're talking about. However, he does care, but it is just that the part of the brain that processes this stuff is where he stores the sports trivia.



8. We are terrified when you drive



Want to know how to reduce your tough guy to a quivering mass of fear? Ask him for the car keys. Every time he rides with you, he'll be prepared die at any moment. But he'd rather die than say this to you.



9. We'll always wish we were 25



As much as your man loves being with you now, he will always look back fondly on the freedom of his youth. Most guys reminisce about the days when life was easy, good and free of responsibility. At 25, they can get away with things they just can't at 40. While it doesn't mean that he is leaving you to join a rock band, it does explain why he occasionally comes home with a leather steering-wheel cover and a Born to Run CD.



10. Give us an inch and we'll give you a lifetime



For all you know, your man could have discovered that he loves you and wants to marry you when he was watching a cricket match with his buddies. Why? Because you told him that he must watch the match as it is important to him. If you let your man do his thing, with his buddies, he will embracou forever for it. And that's the truth.

Online dating tips, to help you survive internet dating

Author: Richard Gazzo

If you plan to search for your soul mate online like the 40 million other people in the world you should be aware of a few tips that will help you along the way. Internet dating is a fast, safe and very easy way to meet people, so what do you need to know?
First off when you sign up to a dating site you need to fill out your personal information, such as age, height and body type. Do yourself a favor do not lie! It's useless to lie about yourself, likes, dislikes, occupation, etc... If you ever plan on actually meeting people in person from internet dating services, then be honest.
Photos are very important if you plan to get as many responses as possible. Men especially will search through profiles with photos only and contact people based on their appearance, so it's important to have a photo. Post a recent photo of yourself, not one that was taken 10 years ago, this can be deceiving if your appearance has changed. Ladies watch your email inbox fill up if you put a photo on your personal ad. The amount of emails you will receive will amaze you.
Try not to jump into sex talk in your profile too much, unless you are on a site like Adultfriendfinder.com. People might be scared off if they think sex is your only reason to want to meet them. We are all sexual beings however keep the sex chat in the background in the beginning.
When you do find someone you are interested in take it slow! Send a few emails back and forth, chat on instant messenger then work up to a telephone conversation. Don't ask to meet right away, and do not meet right away. You need to be smart and stay safe. When it comes time to meet in person, do so in a public place and take your own transportation. I'm not trying to scare you, it's just important to be safe, while meeting people you know very little about.
Try not to discuss previous relationships as this is a big turn off for people. No one wants to hear about negativity especially when you are first getting to know someone. Be positive and your personality will shine.
If you have already starting searching through dating sites, you can see that their is an endless supply of men and women looking for casual dating , romance and marriage. It can be overwhelming to try to find something you like because now you have too many choices compared to the real world. Don't get overwhelmed, this is easy to do. Write down what you are looking for and search for people who fit your requirements.
This might be a no brainer but do not ask someone to marry you when you first start corresponding with them. And don't say that you love them or they are your soul mate right off the bat, this might not go over too well. You would be surprised at how many men do this! The bottom line use your common sense, be honest, take your time and have fun!

The Beginners Guide To Online Dating - 5 Great Tips!

Author: Jon White

Did you know that two out of five single people in the UK now use some kind of on line dating service? That's 40% of all singles! Unfortunately, the percentage of these people who actually find a real romance as a direct result of their site memberships is very low - probably less than 10%.
Why is this? Well, it's true that some sites are better than others; they have more traffic, they are better to navigate; they just 'work' whilst others just don't. But what really matters is how you use a site when you actually sign-up to one. Take my word for it, unless you take the five simple steps that I'm about to outline, you may as well do something more productive with your time than join a singles site. What I'm about to say may sound obvious and rather simplistic, but you'd be surprised at how many people don't bother doing the 'obvious'. So here goes...
1. Create A Great Profile. This is the most important aspect of your dating site experience. Don't just say 'Nice guy seeks nice girl for trips to the cinema' - how boring does that sound? Take the time to say something about yourself, your lifestyle, your interests and the type of person you're hoping to meet. And remember to sound happy, upbeat, fun and confident; if you're miserable about your recent breakup, then keep it to yourself! This isn't the time for modesty; if you think you're pretty darn attractive, then be sure to say so. And humour is a real ice-breaker - if you can make someone laugh, they'll be more likely to want to contact you.
2. Always Upload A Photo. Even if you don't have a very flattering one to hand, you should always post a pic with your profile. Remember, 95% of people on dating sites only search for other members who have bothered to provide a picture of themselves. You want to see what other potential partners look like so it stands to reason that other people will want to know what you look like too. If your photo isn't recent or isn't a great likeness of you, you can always say so in your profile.
3. Be Proactive. Don't just join a site and expect other people to contact you. Make sure you regularly search the database for people with whom you might be compatible and when you find someone you like the look or sound of, write to them immediately and tell them why you think you might be a good fit.
4. Write Great Emails. OK, you've joined a dating site, you've searched for other members who fall within your specified categories, and you've been presented with a page of matching profiles. You're eager to fire off a few emails...but what on earth do you say in them? Re-read the paragraph above about creating a great profile and apply the same rules to the first email that you send to another member. If it looks like you can't be bothered to say much or that you're sending the same one line message to several people, then they probably wont bother to reply. Tell that person a little about who you are and why you think you might both be compatible - respond directly to what you've read in that person's profile - sound interested and interesting and you'll get an email by return - sound boring and downbeat and you'll just be ignored.
5. Check Back With The Site. There are two reasons why you should do this as often as possible. The most obvious one is to keep up to speed with who has joined since you last logged-on; that special someone might have signed-up since you last visited the site so don't miss out. However, what most people don't realise is that when you log-in to a dating site, your profile moves up the listings on the internal search engine which means that you are more likely to be spotted and subsequently contacted by other people. Don't be a stranger to the site you've joined and I recommend that you visit the site at least once a day during the lifetime of your membership.
So there you have it - 5 easy ways to make your chosen dating site work for YOU. Have fun and happy hunting!

Internet Dating

By Michael Russell

Dating has become more of a hassle than it's worth. Everywhere you turn, you hear about how someone keeps looking and can't find their Mr. or Mrs. Right. You would think with all of the different options out there that it would be easier, and not harder, to get a date in today's world. But maybe the real issue is not that it is too hard to get a date, but maybe finding the right kind of person. Today, you don't even have to leave your home to snag your next mate.

With the Internet and its millions of sites, all you have to do is take a seat and use your mouse to find someone. Of course, with the convenience comes a price. Anyone can pretend to be anyone or anything on the Internet. The guy with the picture of him posing for a body building competition, that you swear to yourself that you have just hit the jackpot with, turns out to either be very unattractive or maybe even a criminal. Not everyone is like this, but it seems to be more and more common. And what about the minors who pose as being much older than they really are?

There are several success stories out there of people meeting online through dating sites and even MySpace and ending up getting married. I'm sure that this is the thing that gives people hope that maybe they too can find love on the Net, but the odds probably aren't with them. It's much easier when you've seen the person face-to-face and know what that person looks and sounds like. Maybe some of the excitement that comes from dating on the Internet is the surprise factor. You never know what you'll get. Maybe this time the person sitting on the other end of the computer will be the person of your dreams or you'll get hooked up with someone who is rich. Surprises are a wonderful thing when they are good.

There are so many sites accessible by searching for your next fling or relationship. Some Internet sites even target specific races or persons who have a particular interest. There are online dating agencies by the thousands for friendship, romance, and even international brides. So why can't single people find someone, if there are so many resources available to them? It's no longer an old-fashioned dating scene, where you actually had to go up to someone and start a conversation. Nope, you can remain as anonymous as you want behind your computer screen. I think it is because it has become almost as a game. With so many people pretending to be someone else, rather than showing their true self, they will never allow themselves to find the right person. Also, with access to so many people, there are some that have in their mind that something better will come along any day now. These people can act as picky as they want, and know that they have the possibility of meeting millions of people throughout the world through the Internet.

Maybe in the long run it's just easier to talk to someone on the bus or in a crowded mall. There's no screen to hide behind, and you know what you're getting beforehand.

The 3 Secret Clues That Tell If She Is Attracted To You

By Kenny Bangler

Figuring out women can be difficult at best, and many men wonder how they will ever know if a woman really is interested. If you want to know if a woman is truly into you, there are a variety of different signs that you should be looking for. While women can, at times, seem mysterious, there are surefire ways that you can know if she is really interested in you.

Check on these various points of subtle body language and in no time, you'll know if it is the real deal.

Clue That Tells If She Is Attracted To You #1: "Eye Contact"

If you really want to know if she is interested in you, you need to check out her eyes. They tell the whole the story. It's amazing that so many guys forget this, because deep down inside they all know it.

When a woman is truly interested, her eyes will be focused completely on you. You'll be able to feel her attention.

However, if she is not interested, her eyes will probably be scanning the room and the scenery.

Imagine if Michael Jordan was about to explain his biggest basketball secret to a 12 year old fan. How would the kid look at Jordan?

Do you get the point?

Great eye contact will let you know if she likes you, and you'll also want to look for dilated eyes, because they are a natural indicator and she has no control over it.

Clue That Tells If She Is Attracted To You #2: "Nervousness"

If the woman you are with seems to be nervous, there's a good chance she is really interested in you.

Nervousness can come across in a variety of different ways, such as fidgeting, playing with her hair, or even biting on her lower lip. While many guys believe that her nervousness is bad sign, it can actually be a "secret revealer" that exposes her interest level.

Whenever people finds themselves in situations where they don't want to screw up, there is a natural tendency to get nervous.

Nervousness is simply the emotional response associated with not knowing what to do + a fear of experiencing an undesirable outcome.

For example, a woman may get nervous during a conversation with a new guy, because she doesn't want to ruin her chances of getting the guy to ask for her phone number.

Clue That Tells If She Is Attracted To You #3: "Opening Up"

If a woman starts to open up to you during the conversation, it's a huge indicator that she could be interested.

After your first conversations go beyond the weather and other general topics, you'll want to pay attention to "self-revealing" talk.

If she begins to talk a bit about herself, particularly what type of woman she is, you'll know that she is subtly trying to make herself more desirable in your eyes.

A Look At Some Of The Secrets Of Online Dating For Men

By Gregg Hall

Online dating is becoming the most popular way of meeting new people. It allows you to meet people that you might not otherwise have a chance to meet. You are also not limited to women in your local area, but can look for ladies all over the world if you choose to.

Another great thing about online dating is that it allows you to screen the person before actually meeting them. You can look through literally thousands of profiles, narrowing your selection to the specific type that you are looking for. It's also a lot less expensive than taking numerous women out on dates without knowing if they are the right one for you. Many sites offer the service free or for a small monthly charge. Now you can view prospective dates at your leisure and not have to worry about hurting their feelings, should you decide not to contact them.

Once you have posted your profile, don't be surprised if the women that you contact show extreme caution in their correspondence with you. Not everyone posts the truth about themselves and women are afraid of men who might be predators, as they should be.

In order for you to get women to agree to go out with you, be truthful in your profile. Give an accurate description of your looks and don't worry if they aren't movie star handsome. Everyone has a type and there's sure to be ladies that find you attractive enough to want to go out with you. Be honest about how much money you make or choose not to include it in your profile. Pretending to make more money than you do will just cause a woman who might otherwise be interested, to not trust you after they find out the truth. Most women are looking for men that make an honest living, so don't be ashamed if you're not a millionaire

Post lots of pictures of yourself. Women enjoy looking at pictures and they like men who are confident. If you don't post a picture, they might wonder if you have something to hide.

When you make contact with the woman of your choice, be sure to allow trust to develop. Take your time and let her get to know you. Don't press her personal information like where she lives or her actual name. Don't ask her out until you feel that she has reached a comfort level that will make her say yes.

Always offer to meet her at a public place, so that she feels safe. If possible, meet her during the day. It doesn't have to be an expensive restaurant; coffee bars are a great place to meet. They also have the added advantage of not being expensive, so neither of you will feel obligated to continue the date if you don't want to.

Remember to just be yourself and let the ladies get to love the real you.

What is the One Secret to Dating Really Hot Women?

By Arthur Andersen

Do you want to meet hot women? Are you tired of striking out and going home alone every weekend? If you’re like most of us, it’s hard to meet really hot women in your every day life. Walking up to a hot woman in a bar or the grocery store is often met with the cold shoulder and dirty looks. You may find the singles scene at clubs to be uncomfortable and perhaps your social circle seems to consist of more married friends with a shrinking amount of singles. Perhaps you’re beginning to think there aren’t any pretty girls out there for you. Be realistic - when was the last time you had beautiful women clamoring for your affections?

Visualize for a minute or two what it would be like to have a sexy woman in your life…really picture that pretty girl on your arm, smiling longingly at you. Is she blonde, brunette or redhead? Petite or tall? What’s she wearing? Can you see her clearly in your mind? Believing you can attract hot women is the first step to actually getting a hot woman. After all, if you don’t believe it, why should she?

I’m not asking you to dream the impossible. Having hot women in your life can be a reality. I don’t care what you look like – looks are secondary to most hot women. Think about it. A sexy woman is used to having hot men. It’s not important to her to be seen with eye candy any more. It may have been fun at first, but the novelty wears off fast. Pretty girls want a guy who can keep their interest. Look at the man Christina Aguilera married. Not exactly a hot man, now is he? You see examples like that every where you go. Just look around you – there are average looking guys with hot women.

So take heart - there really are hot women out there that want to meet you! It’s just a matter of being in the right place at the right time. As they say, timing is everything, and that is so true when it comes to dating.

One of my very good friends is a beautiful, successful blonde who looks like Pamela Anderson and she is very actively involved with online dating. It is the only method of dating she ever uses now. She’s gone out with lots of men and had some great relationships. I’ve met a few of them, and they are average looking guys, not sexy, hot men. In fact, there were even a couple geeky ones. She doesn’t really care. She wants substance in a man and she’s not the only hot woman who feels that way. (she’s been dating someone for several weeks now that she really likes, so she may not be on the market for long).

If you want to date beautiful women then quite likely you've also considered matchmaking services to meet some pretty girls. It is not at all surprising that millions of singles have already tried internet dating services as a way to find someone rather than waiting for a chance meeting that never happens. Matchmaking or dating services are very popular and quite safe these days. In fact, it’s probably much safer than an encounter with a stranger in everyday life. Dating sites prescreen their applicants and you are able to see their profiles and pictures before any contact is made. That’s ten times better than going on a blind date too– we’ve all had at least one disastrous blind date!

So whether you’re looking for a relationship with one hot woman, or you want to date many hot women, your best bet is an internet dating service. If you can just believe that it is possible for you to date beautiful women, the pretty girls will flock to you – hot women respond to confidence in a man more than anything – it’s like an aphrodisiac! Take my word for it.
